I have a column of 8 charecters just like the above one "0N125415". What should I do to convert the second Charecter into "0"

Thanks a lot.

Max,

In another column use a formula like

=LEFT(A1,1)&"0"&MID(A1,3,LEN(A1))

One way:

=--(LEFT(A1,1)&"0"&MID(A1,3,LEN(A1)))

the right minus makes it a negative number, the left minus changes it back to a
positive number.
